The office of the Chief Scientist is the main governmental organization in Israel supporting industrial research and development.
The OCS provides a range of programs and funding tools answering needs in the entire value chain of R&D and innovation, starting at supporting applicative academic research and encouraging academy-industry partnerships via the various Magnet programs, through the support of technological ventures in their early stages via the Tnufa program and the Technological Incubators program, through the encouragement of competitive R&D via the R&D fund and up to the encouragement of international collaborations, as a measure to strengthen Israel's position as a global knowledge hub and as a tool to support penetration to international markets, increasing exports and creating employment opportunities.
